      “Senator Elon Musk” is ambiguous phrasing. Obviously, what is meant is “Senator [that] Elon Musk”, but it could also have been calling Aparthiedman himself a senator.

        It reads like a gardenpath sentence.

        For example (made up on the spot so excuse me if its crap)

        Muscle man made harms others when using force
